Shakespeare Survey: Volume 60, Theatres for Shakespeare - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare Survey: Volume 60, Theatres for Shakespeare - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare Survey is a yearbook of Shakespeare studies and production. Since 1948 Survey has published the best international scholarship in English and many of its essays have become classics of Shakespeare criticism. Each volume is devoted to a theme, or play, or group of plays; each also contains a section of reviews of that year''s textual and critical studies, and of the year''s major British performances. The books are illustrated with a variety of Shakespearean images and production photographs. The virtues of accessible scholarship and a keen interest in performance, from Shakespeare''s time to our own, have characterised the journal from the start. Most volumes of Survey have long been out of print. Back numbers are gradually being reissued in paperback. The theme for Shakespeare Survey 60 is ''Theatres for Shakespeare''.

Theory of Prominence - Bryan Hayslett - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Theory of Prominence - Bryan Hayslett - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Many twentieth and twenty-first century composers have written music with rhythmic structures that must be understood through a framework distinct from even, periodic meter, which has been a salient musical feature of Western classical music for centuries. This Element''s analytical system outlines structure and phrasing in sections of music without even perceptible meter. Instead of entrainment to meter, Bryan Hayslett theorizes that listeners perceive rhythm in similar ways to how they perceive the rhythm of language. With gesture as the smallest organizational grouping unit, his analytical system combines Fred Lerdahl and Ray Jackendoff''s generative theory of tonal music with Bruce Hayes''s metrical stress theory from linguistics. The listener perceives the shape of a gesture according to the structure of its constituents, and larger-level phrasing is perceived through the hierarchical relationship of gestures. After developing a set of rules, the author provides analyses that outline temporal structure according to perceptual prominence.

The Evolution of Verse Structure in Old and Middle English Poetry - Geoffrey (brown University Russom - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Evolution of Verse Structure in Old and Middle English Poetry - Geoffrey (brown University Russom - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In this fascinating study, Geoffrey Russom traces the evolution of the major English poetic traditions by reference to the evolution of the English language, and considers how verse forms are born, how they evolve, and why they die. Using a general theory of poetic form employing universal principles rooted in the human language faculty, Russom argues that certain kinds of poetry tend to arise spontaneously in languages with identifiable characteristics. Language changes may require modification of metrical rules and may eventually lead to extinction of a meter. Russom''s theory is applied to explain the development of English meters from the earliest alliterative poems in Old and Middle English and the transition to iambic meter in the Modern English period. This thorough yet accessible study provides detailed analyses of form in key poems, including Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and a glossary of technical terms.

Reconstructing Alliterative Verse - Ian (loyola University Cornelius - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Reconstructing Alliterative Verse - Ian (loyola University Cornelius - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The poetry we call ''alliterative'' is recorded in English from the seventh century until the sixteenth, and includes Caedmon''s ''Hymn'', Beowulf, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Piers Plowman. These are some of the most admired works of medieval English literature, and also among the most enigmatic. The formal practice of alliterative poets exceeded the conceptual grasp of medieval literary theory; theorists are still playing catch-up today. This book explains the distinctive nature of alliterative meter, explores its differences from subsequent accentual-syllabic forms, and advances a reformed understanding of medieval English literary history. The startling formal variety of Piers Plowman and other Middle English alliterative poems comes into sharper focus when viewed in diachronic perspective: the meter was in transition; to understand it, we need to know where it came from and where it was headed at the moment it died out.

Adventures in Childhood: Volume 60 - Kathy Bowrey - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Adventures in Childhood: Volume 60 - Kathy Bowrey - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Adventures in Childhood connects modern intellectual property law and practice with a history of consumption. Structured in a loosely chronological order, the book begins with the creation of a children''s literature market, a Christmas market, and moves through character merchandising, syndicated newspaper strips, film, television, and cross-industry relations, finishing in the 1970s, by which time professional identities and legal practices had stabilized. By focusing on the rise of child-targeted commercial activities, the book is able to reflect on how and why intellectual property rights became a defining feature of 20th century culture. Chapters trace the commercial empires that grew around Alice in Wonderland, Peter Rabbit, Meccano, Felix the Cat, Mickey Mouse, Peter Pan, Eagle Magazine, Davy Crockett, Mr Men, Dr Who, The Magic Roundabout and The Wombles to show how modern intellectual property merchandising was plagued with legal and moral questions that exposed the tension between exploitation and innocence.

A Historical Phonology of Central Chadic - H. Ekkehard Wolff - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

A Historical Phonology of Central Chadic - H. Ekkehard Wolff - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Of all of the African language families, the Chadic languages belonging to the Afroasiatic macro-family are highly internally diverse due to a long history and various scenarios of language contact. This pioneering study explores the development of the sound systems of the ''Central Chadic'' languages, a major branch of the Chadic family. Drawing on and comparing field data from about 60 different Central Chadic languages, H. Ekkehard Wolff unpacks the specific phonological principles that underpin the Chadic languages'' diverse phonological evolution, arguing that their diversity results to no little extent from historical processes of ''prosodification'' of reconstructable segments of the proto-language. The book offers meticulous historical analyses of some 60 words from Proto-Central Chadic, in up to 60 individual modern languages, including both consonants and vowels. Particular emphasis is on tracing the deep-rooted origin and impact of palatalisation and labialisation prosodies within a phonological system that, on its deepest level, recognises only one vowel phoneme */a/.
